How To Try Out
Try outs are held on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Depending on the child, the try outs consist of a short time swimming with the team.  To enter stroke school ( a first step to the team) swimmers must be able to complete 25 yards of front crawl with side breathing and 25 yards of back crawl.
